I have a i3 2120, DH67EL motherboard, 8gb Transcend RAM. My question is that is the above graphic card enough for my system. I am not too much into gaming, am more into movie watching, music etc. My friends recommend a better GPU. What would you recommend? Thanks.
Graphic Card GeForce 210

The Geforce 210 is more than capable enough to watch 1080p movies smoothly.
But your i3 already has the integrated Intel HD 2000 which is also good enough to watch 1080p movies so no need to purchase the 210 at all.
If you're not a gamer, no need to buy another card on top of your decent integrated solution.

Seems like he's probably using the integrated currently, and the intel mobo should probably have DVI and HDMI outputs for the integrated chipset
Thank you very much rolandzhang3 and IAMEXTREME. That is prompt of you guys.
The reason I had to buy the GPU was because my monitor (Viewsonic 1921) does not support HDMI or DVI only VGA) hence the GPU purchase, otherwise as you rightly said there is no need to buy the GPU.
I will also look into the 7750 or 7770 depending on the price out here for a solution.

You can purchase a DVI to VGA adapter, much cheaper solution
Something like this would do

The 7750 or 7770 is absolute overkill for movies, the HD 2000 is more than capable

Hi rolandzhand3,
I infact purchased the same type of adaptor for my system, but it always has been a dodgy connection to say the least. I have to shake it a bit or press it a bit and then the connection seems to come back. It seems to be a problem with these kind of adaptors. Tried two of them, same result.
